  • I have some Motorola HT1250 LS+ radios that are running 451.98-468.975. They coincide with our transport vehicles that have matching mobile ones installed. What I purchased was a uv88, but I believe it is locked to only tx on ham freq. can it be reprogrammed to tx and rx with my Motorolas. If so, I’d also like to buy another so I can have a few extra handhelds to work with our Motorolas. Kindly let me know your thoughts on reprogramming it to match what we have and if you sell them and we can add to our radio options.

    Fleetwood Digital can help with this. Please reach out to us at support@fleetwooddp.com when you are ready and we can discuss the options with you. The Land Mobile version of the UV88 can be configured to match the analog FM channels of your exisitng setup prior to shipping.

    Thanks
